Prepare Edges with Tape and Caulk

What happens here

After the initial overlapping paint color has dried for approximately 2 hours, apply 1-inch painter's tape along the edge where the accent color will meet the first color. Then, use clear caulk and a caulk gun to seal the edge of the tape, creating a barrier to prevent the accent paint from bleeding underneath. This technique ensures a crisp, clean line between the two colors. Work quickly as you caulk to ensure the caulk does not dry before painting can begin, to achieve the best paint-bleed prevention. The narrator suggests that this clear caulk is applied to the tape and then allowed to dry for a few minutes before the accent color is painted.

Goal: Create a sharp, bleed-free line for the accent color application.
